1 National Hospital Indicators Survey data for 1998:4-2002:3. Survey replaced National Hospital Panel Survey.

2 Discharges per 1,000 population is calculated using population estimates prepared by the Social Security Administration.

3 Adjusted patient days is an aggregate figure reflecting the number of days of inpatient care, plus an estimate of the volume of the volume of outpatient services, expressed in units equivalent to an inpatient day in terms of level of effort. It is derived by multiplying the number of outpatient visits by the ratio of outpatient revenue per outpatient visit to inpatient revenue per inpatient day, and adding the product to the number of inpatient days.

4 Total hospital revenue is the sum of total patient revenue and all other operating revenue. Total patient revenue is the sum of inpatient revenue and outpatient revenue.

5 Inpatient Expense and Outpatient Expense are calculated by the National Health Statistics Group. These statistics are calculated by applying the ratio of inpatient or outpatient revenue to total patient revenue multiplied by total hospital expenses.
